META: Mgoblog facebook updates

Submitted by Brhino on

Up until a few weeks ago, I  used to get a facebook notification every time there was a new post on the Mgoblog front page.  That has stopped happening recently, though.  I don't think I changed anything, but who knows.  If not me, either facebook itself or the blog's facebook  page must have changed some setting.  Anyone know?

I have been getting the facebook updates you have not so it must be some crazy new setting facebook has effecting your feed.

If you hid "All posts from Social RSS" for some other feed, you may have accidentally hidden MGoBlog.  Try looking for that under your blocked applications.

I think you're right.  I do remember blocking something because one of my friends was broadcasting some utterly inane something-or-other.  Can't seem how to bring it back now, so I think I'll go with the "obsessively refreshing" option.

This is likely due to Smart Tweets for Pages randomly breaking. It's a facebook app that picks up tweets from a Twitter account and then posts them. Sometimes it randomly decides to stop working. Send Brian a note and he'll probably go through the necessary uninstall app/reinstall app process to get it working again.

The app breaks frequently enough to be frustrating; I just removed it from my page and I'm looking for something different now.

(Standard note from the above posters also applies: make sure you haven't hidden those posts.)

For a moment I thought you were referring to posting Mgoblog articles on one's Facebook page.  I do that sometimes when we have a juicy piece of schadenfreude or information.
